Corn Hill Navigation is the 501(c)3 nonprofit operator of the Sam Patch and Riverie Tour Boats. Public cruises and chartered events help to underwrite our efforts to provide field studies on the Erie Canal to thousands of students annually. Our vision is to improve and sustain the Erie Canal and adjoining Genesee River for current and future generations through awareness, education, conservation, and enjoyment.
Our cruises provide unparalleled opportunities to experience history and enjoy a relaxing getaway that showcases the beauty and ingenuity of America’s celebrated Erie Canal.
The Sam Patch & Riverie offer public and student cruises, and private charters tailored to family, friends, and co-workers daily throughout the season. Consider chartering a boat for your private corporate meeting, employee incentive, retreat, or celebration.
In continuous operation for more than 30 years, hundreds of thousands of people of all ages, from all 50 states and dozens of foreign countries, have experienced the Canal from our decks. Join us for an authentic Canal experience shared by people from all over the world.
